The Part-Time MBA Program is conducted over two years at WHU’s campus in Düsseldorf.
After a one-week kick-off at the beginning of september, the part-time format comprises
classroom-based weekend courses and is especially designed for professionals wishing
to earn a high-quality MBA degree while continuing to pursue a full-time career.
Program Format
Confronted with complex demands and a heavy workload on a daily basis, professionals must be able to grasp complex problems quickly, react rapidly to changing circumstances and communicate effectively. To this end, our Part-Time MBA Program is designed as a gen-eral management program and is aimed at those who want to enhance, deepen or develop their knowledge in the fields of business administration and economics, and acquire the skills to perform successfully in a challenging global environment. Moreover, there is a special focus on personal and leadership competencies throughout the program. Thereby, you develop the skills to take over strategic management functions within a business organization.
To convey an integral understanding of the core functions of an organization, the first-year modules cover basic management concepts and theories as well as an introduction to the concepts and tools of economic analysis.
The fundamental strength of this program in General Management means that the first-year theoretical and practical content provides a solid base for the conveyance of in-depth knowledge in the fields of Marketing and Sales, Advanced Finance and Accounting, Strategy and Organization, Operations, Innovations & Entrepreneurship.
The International Module is designed to foster an understanding of business opportunities and management challenges in different parts of the world. Specialist lectures given by senior faculty members of our renowned partner schools cover sensitive issues that are relevant to the local business environments. Company visits develop a deeper understanding of management in emerging economies.
The program concludes with the preparation of the Master Thesis. The thesis serves to demonstrate the student’s ability to examine a challenging business issue as part of a company project or an independent research topic by using academic research methods.

The Personal Leadership Module includes various courses distributed throughout the pro-gram. Approaches to this topic consist of lectures and highly interactive discussions with renowned speakers from the academic and the corporate world. Excellence in manage-ment requires mastering human relation skills – communication, collaboration, clarity and confidence. When thinking about communication, most people concentrate on content and tend to forget about delivery. Integrated courses will boost the students’ soft skills by e. g.:
The Birkman Method® is a scientifically developed, multi-dimensional assessment designed
to help you achieve more at work. It integrates behavioral, motivational and occupational data together to predict behavior and work satisfaction across situations. The Birkman Method® is
the personality assessment for improving people skills and aligning roles and relationships for maximum productivity and success. Offered and analyzed by a certified trainer, this profile and subsequent coaching assists the candidate in working with the assigned study groups during the program – and with colleagues in the workplace at any time.
Clearly, personal development is just that – personal. During this stage of the process, par-ticipants benefit from skilled and certified coaches experienced with issues confronting the management world. Students delve further into themselves to develop a framework to move forward individually while leading others. As the coaches also come from various business and cultural milieus, they are best suited to guide candidates – regardless of background.
Perfecting leadership skills needs practical experience. Outdoor training offers exactly this in a different and challenging environment. Experienced trainers with extensive leadership experience and profound outdoor skills take the study groups to challenging leadership tasks in the outback. Adapted to individual fitness levels, training will assist personal development, promote teambuilding and give a unique opportunity to sharpen leadership skills.
The program finishes with the final stage of the Personal Leadership Module in which the students will present their individual leadership credo intended to guide them to the next step in their professional career.
In the present dynamic and competitive business environment, managers are expected
to provide direction and inspiration within their companies. Today’s managers must play
a number of roles in which they are highly visible to their coworkers and to the public
at large. In order to equip the students with crucial soft skills, the Part-Time MBA Program
contains a compulsory Personal Leadership Module.

“After 5 years of work experience, it was a good time to reflect, look back and try to connect the dots that made me get to where I was and most importantly trace the draft for the future. As a chemist by training, and having worked 5 years in marketing, I was looking forward to a more solid business knowledge foundation.
The program has brought me to an exciting new position with global responsibility in a completely new market thanks to the knowl edge and perspective that I acquired. But most importantly, it gave me a very valuable personal dimension, guiding and forcing me to take time to think about myself, my values and my passions.”

“Motherhood and a Master’s degree at the same time? The structure of the Part-Time MBA Program at WHU enabled me to balance both child care and career development.
Using my parental leave to earn a top-notch MBA allowed me to re-enter the business world even at a higher level. The most important things WHU offers besides an excellent education are great people and a great network, which will accompany me far beyond the university.”
KARIn BeRnLOCHneR
MBA 2014, Deloitte Consulting GmbH
“Combining WHU’s Part-Time MBA Program with my second parental leave has been a great decision, as I filled the ‘career break’ by furthering my education. While taking care of the kids during the day, I could use the evenings to study. Although I had to fly in from Munich for the weekends, it was never a problem to attend classes:
my husband took care of the kids and WHU was very supportive regarding unforeseen organizational issues.
Regarding my career, the MBA did not only push it forward by offering me a second degree, but also enabled me to gain in-depth knowledge which I could immediately apply at work. Additionally, I built a strong network within the WHU community and gained friends for life.” encounter new areas of expertise, but to do so in a very flexible and
rewarding way – namely during weekends. In addition to the standard MBA lectures, WHU is leading the way by offering great personal and leadership development modules.
The greatest value of the MBA is the people one studies with … WHU certainly selects great candidates.”

I gained insights in many areas and developed tools I could directly apply to my job. I enjoyed the discussions with professors who are familiar with practical operations and are used to working with manag-ers.
